Cody Eakin has totaled three goals and four points in 13 games, but his contribution to the Golden Knights’ success in the Stanley Cup playoffs has surpassed those numbers.
He’s shooting at a high percentage. He’s winning faceoffs. He’s blocking shots. He has been stellar on the penalty killing unit. He’s one of the team’s leaders in hits.
